Passed my Intro Cave!!!!

[octgal]

I do plan on getting full cave, but i think i will sit at intro for a little bit (but not too long) I was at Pecock Dec 13 and the 15th, did you happen to see me? I was the only chick there with PINK webbing hehehe (actually i was the only chick). The wetsuit i was wearing was a 7mm BARE, however the last time i wore it (aprox. 2 months ago) it was tighter on me, seems i've lost weight since then, as i think its too big for me now. Once i was fully zipped up i didn't get the bubble.

Oh and yeah i was diving a single steel 95. I wanted to try doubles, but come on, that would have sent me for another ride with my trim, thought i would just stick with the single tank for now. It wasn't a problem as i was able to get over 600 feet before hitting my thirds.

yay! congrats!! i was at bobby f & suthnbelle's house, and nick called bobby and said you passed, so i heard it before i read it! i just hope mike o'leary is as patient with mel & me...we were practicing crosses with caps on our faces and bobby laughing at us and changing our line because we couldn't see it. bobby, you're a butt, but i love ya.

No, thought I might have, we dove there on last Sunday, the 11th. It was packed full of people. Thought you might have been one of the faces. Congrats on you cert.

Congrats. I especially applaud you for having the guts to take your class from Nick

 

[MikeFerrara]

Congrats.
Good report...it brings back some memories, I'll say that much.

I did my lost line drill in down stream Cow. All the other students in the class were also former students of mine so you can imagine the fun they all had when our cave instructor anounced that I killed myself on my first attempt.

Note to all instructors: Think twice before taking a class with your own former students! LOL of course, on the other hand, there's a good deal of satisfaction that goes with seeing some one you OW certified successfuly diving at that level especially later on when you're out doing real cave dives together.

Congrats

Now are you ready to push some virgin cave and lay some line? We can always find some new caves to explore someplace

Wow, I'm surprised that it's possible to do a cave class in single. Thought you would need doubles for sure. Which class did you take?

I remember Nick saying he had a student coming down from the north. Sounds like you had a great time and did a good job. Nick's a good guy, and really is into the caves in a big way. Not just diving them, but protecting them. In fact, he's organizing a Telford cleanup dive for February which I might do.

I'm jealous. I can't wait to start my overhead training, but I've got a LOT of diving to do yet before I'm ready.
